Just when I thought I’d love the look without wheel covers. I kinda like the look with the covers more. Thoughts?

I like w/o so you can see the brake rotors. Overall sportier look.
However with is a more aero look, but it's already aero enough to me.

Yes, I agree. I like that the aero covers improve range, so I’ve kept them on. (Ignore the lack of light covers and center cap on the without pic!)

I have no idea. I didn't test it.
I had the car fully PPF'd , tinted, wheel covers removed/powder coated as soon as I picked up my car from Lucid.
Have not put the covers back on ever since.. ..removing/reinstalling the covers will scratch up the wheels.

My vote is for covers off.
Love that look. Where did you get the Lucid caps?

You can get them from your local SC.
With covers (Air Touring 19" Aero wheels). And not about range only. Without covers, the car looks like no different than many cars out there. With cover, it looks .... different. Obviously, this is all subjective / depends on one's tastes, that's all.

I have the same color - fathom blue, stealth with the 20" wheels (glass roof) '25 AT. Picked up my car in Dec '24. Tried both and a few months in, decided I liked it better with covers on. Both are really nice, no doubt about that. Thankfully the car was delivered with the aera covers never having been on, so no scratches on the factory wheels (should be standard delivery process).
What swayed me was:
1. I liked the overall balance and silhouette of the car with the covers on. the roof even in stealth is very streamlined and gives the car a great overall shape, and the aero covers give a consistent look to the car. And they're still 'sporty.' Now when I look at the aero's off, it feels a little like the car being not fully dressed.
2. While I like the muscle look with no covers on the 20's, I came to believe the rotors are visually undersized and also not being perforated, look a little less 'showy' than perforated rotors, full brembo sets, etc.
3. Trip efficiency - I really wanted to get the most out of my trips, and that means aero covers (even if the gain is only 5% or less)
4. The aeros are lightweight - this car can still smoke any other car off the line at a red light leaving Wegman's
. So, the wolf in sheep's clothing doesn't strictly need the covers off to perform.
I put the covers on, then did one local day and took one off and the scratches are there already from the clips even though the car was just washed. So if I take them all off now, I'm sure the wheels will be scratched .. changes the (desir)ability to take them on / off if the wheels are scratched. So, I have them on always now and like it, and feel I'll have them that way from here on out.
